Manage episode 329888411 series 3355782
William McKissock was born and raised in the south-west of Scotland. It is a friendly, Scottish-speaking neighborhood with a great view of the mountain. Just like anywhere in the northern hemisphere, Scotland is always freezing. When he moved to the Tampa Bay area 11 years ago, he was fascinated with how different the weather was. Unlike his Scottish-speaking neighborhood, Tampa Bay offers a mix of people from different cultures. Rosie met William at Lincoln Local, which is an in-person networking event. As social animals, they love meeting new people.
William works at Schooley Mitchell. It is an independent, family-owned expense reduction company that has its main office in Ontario, Canada. Schooley Mitchell investigates the cost data and recommends optimized and cost-effective solutions for services such as telecom, merchants, small package and shipping couriers, waste, electronic logging devices, e-signature, utilities, and fuel. In their 22 years in business, they have had over 25,000 clients from whom they get their excellent database to benchmark. In doing business with Schooley Mitchell, there is no risk of losing anything because of their no-saving, no-charge policy.
As a cost reduction consultant, William McKissock often networks to educate people about their service. He talks with the CFOs and CEOs of companies to analyze their costs and figure out what he can do to save them money. If businesses agree, William and Schooley Mitchell will talk to vendors on the company’s behalf to secure the best pricing option. This involves accessing billing statements and contracts.
Before moving to the United States, William worked with Scotland’s local government and helped local companies and groups access funding for their projects. He has a passion for business development and for seeing business owners achieve their goals while cutting costs. He loves seeing businesses he works with prosper.
During the pandemic, William says most sales have done down and naturally businesses are looking for help to drive sales back up. However, he says that another way to protect their profit is to look at their costs. Rosie and William agreed that COVID-19 has created a different avenue for doing business. As a business owner, It’s a good time to analyze your costs!
